How to read and access input tool/macro error messages?

MaksimBI

Hi community,

 

My macro dynamically queries the databases. Sometimes the macro throws an error due to lack of permissions as per the screenshot. In general it doesn't matter what type of error I get but what matters is the error itself and the description of it. 

 

This error messages can be seen only when clicking on the blank space in Alteryx designer.

Is there a way how to access this error messages by connecting a tool to the macro output? 

Thanks.

Hi @MaksimBI 

 


You can place the Crew macros runner tool and configure the message tool to capture the log and write to a file and then analyze the processing.

The log is complete with all text if there is an error.

Hi Geraldo,

 

Thank you for your solution, I thought about Crew Macros as well.
